We just watched "Meet the Feebles" (which apparently is now out on region 1 dvd), and I think I want to claw my eyes out. Oh god. *twitch* *twitch* *twitch* I knew it wasn't right, but I didn't know how WRONG it was. I would never have seen this movie and thought "Let's give this man Lord of the Rings, I'm sure he'll do it justice." The funny thing is, it's got "from the director of Lord of the Rings" plastered all over it; I wonder how many people who aren't familiar with it will pick it up based on that alone. "Hey, I liked LOTR, so maybe I should watch this. And look, it's puppets, so I bet the kids would enjoy it." *twitch*

I've heard "Heavenly Creatures" was actually pretty good? "Good" isn't one of the words I'd heard applied to the others though. We've been staring at a copy of "Bad Taste" at Suncoast for a few months, but haven't worked up the courage to own it yet.

HEAVENLY CREATURES is quite good, but has a lot of disturbing bits in it, with one or two of MEET THE FEEBLES twitchiness.

I enjoyed DEAD ALIVE and BAD TASTE, btu "good" isn't he word I'd use.

Still haven't seen THE FRIGHTENERS, though.

Oh, yeah. "Heavenly Creatures" was awesome. It's one of my favourite movies -- but I like twisted, film noir-ish stuff. See it, see it, see it!
